Famous quotes containing the words personal, life and/or retirement:

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“You know all my life I’ve hated funerals. The fuss and bother never brings anybody back. It just spoils remembering them as they really are. And when I see people actually facing it that way, I have to act like a sap.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
“Convent. A place of retirement for women who wish for leisure to meditate upon the sin of idleness.”
